The Annual Conference is an opportunity to meet up with colleagues and listen to a variety of interesting presentations. This year’s theme is:
COMMUNICATION ISSUES IN THE TRIBUNAL
- “How to get the most from communication with people with dementia and older people with mental health difficulties” Dr Amanda Thompsell consultant psychiatrist in old age psychiatry and Medical member
- “The Nearest Relative: crucial safeguard or awkward intervenor” Steven Chamberlain – Independent social worker, trainer on AMHP and MCA/MHA issues (Registered with Social Work England), carer and Specialist member.
- “Young People’s experience of the Tribunal” -a panel discussion with young service users
- Questions & Answers with Sarah Johnston Deputy Chamber President who told us: “I feel privileged to be invited to the MHTMA conference. It is incredibly informative and a great way to meet with other members.”
Cost of Conference
The cost is £25 for all members. Refreshments and a light lunch will be provided.
IMPORTANT NEWS
We understand that all JOHs are entitled to recover their reasonable travel (not accommodation) costs as the AGM conference is classed as judicial business and so you can reclaim your travel expenses within the usual policy limits. In consequence, MHTMA will not need to waive the conference fee of £25 for those who travel more than 60 miles, as we did last year. Guidance will be given on how to make the claim on Access Workspace before and at the AGM. All the more reason to come to London for the conference!
